The Soldier

By: Susan Stoker

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton

In this steamy contemporary romance about family, unforeseen circumstances, and unexpected love, an ex-military man and a down-on-her-luck woman find more than they bargained for when they find each other.

When Chad Young moves home, it’s not a decision he makes lightly. A former military man, he doesn’t make any decision lightly. But his father’s passing has left the family—and their business—reeling. Now more than ever, they need to stick together.

Britt Starkweather moved to Maine with her boyfriend, never imagining he’d abandon her there. With no money and nowhere to go, she accepts the Youngs’ offer of a job and room on their property. What more does she have to lose?

Although they just met, Chad makes Britt feel safe in a way no one has before. And she makes him feel things he’d given up on finding. But even as they grow closer, Britt realizes that something is amiss at Lobster Cove…and Chad will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.

Awww

Oh wow, another great book, I can so relate to Evelyn. I lost my husband 12 years ago and I’ve been by myself doing everything by myself. I do have boys, but they don’t live in the same town I do, and I’m 72, she just resonated with me more than any character in a long time. Looking forward to the next books.

so good!

I wasn't expecting much but to my surprise it was really good. Now I'm desperate for the next one.

good story..but not very believable

the story was okay..but everything happened way too quickly to be believable. Also the story about the neighbor's daughter and grandkid seemed completely irrelevant to the story.

I don’t know

I think I would like the story as I like the author but I can’t handle the female reading the female part of this story so I have to say I pass.

Not my favorite

I love Susan Stoker . Seal Team Hawaii, Seal of Protection and Silverstone are my favorite book series ever !!!! But this is not even close to any of those books. Story had very few twists or turns and the characters were boring. Save your money and buy one of her other books from the series I mentioned.
